I am so beyond thrilled to share another design in my new Shapes Of Things Series; The Gramercy Shawl free crochet pattern. This simple and meditative pattern will grow magically and create the perfect shawl. One of those put on your favorite show and what them stitches grow kind of patterns I promise!

It is perfect for the new Lion Brand LB Collection Anya Fibers. I was so excited that Lion Brand sent me some to use for this design. It was just perfect! I chose the color Rose Tattoo because... um yeah.... it is so me. Shades of blues and deep purples that make me drool and the fiber worked up like a dream for this pattern.

The Perfect Crochet Shawl recipe

This pattern is meant to be used as a roadmap. It can be the foundation for you to follow and add colors, stripes, and truly make your own. I suggest following this simple pattern the first time you make it to get used to crochet on the bias, and to understand the shaping. Then try things out like adding stripes or trim or fringe. This pattern can also be a great stash buster!

You can try this with almost any yarn - I suggest worsted as the thickest weight but have also made this with sport and fingering weights and been so pleased with the results.
